Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.
Matt ChandlerWorship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.
Matt ChandlerThe commands of God are given, not to rob me of joy, but lead me into the fullness of joy.
Matt ChandlerIf you're a beast in the pulpit but a coward in your neighborhood, something has gone wrong.
Matt ChandlerSo relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what weโre called to do. Youโre eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.
